This blog was set up for the spreads that I do in my daily life art journal. It is simply a Mead Composition notebook where most of the pages have been transformed with acrylic paint, rubber stamps, magazine clippings, bits of my calligraphy, and my writing about whatever happened to me that day.

Spirals

This spread was painted with raw sienna and cad yellow. When it was good and dry I swiped a couple of rubber stamps with white acrylic paint and randomly pressed them on the page. Just a note of caution...be sure to wash your stamps well immediately after using them with acrylic paint since it dries permanent. I colored in some of the spaces with Prismacolor pencils.

About Me

My first love in the world of art was calligraphy. I have studied with more than 60 instructors. This led me to various other art pursuits including watercolor, rubber-stamping, book-making, and art journaling. I am now retired and free to play with all kinds of art techniques, but spent 31 years as a classroom teacher and school librarian.
